About this map

Green Mountain summits dominate this survey, centered on the high peaks and gaps of Rutland County. The landscape is defined by the ridgeline of the Long Trl, which traverses Gillespie Peak, Mt Horrid, and Farr Peak before descending toward Brandon Gap. To the east, the settlement of Michigan sits along the Michigan Brook, while the western slopes are carved by the Neshobe River and its numerous tributaries.

Evidence of historical land use persists in the scattered burial grounds throughout the woods, including Oliver Reynolds Cem and Wetmore Cem. These cemeteries, along with locations like Souphouse Flat and Telephone Gap, offer clear indicators of earlier mountain life and forgotten homesteads. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, from the sheer face of The Great Cliff to the expansive views at Cape Lookoff Mtn.
